1. Utilized (6) 400 gigabyte sata hard drives.

Used the following 'optimizations' for all tests.

echo "Setting read-ahead to 64 MiB for /dev/md3"
blockdev --setra 65536 /dev/md3
That's actually 65k x 512byte blocks so 32MiB
Ah whoops, thanks!

used during array creation time? Otherwise interesting test :)
Indeed, the chunk size used was 256 KiB for all tests.
